Found in: Movies, ReviewsRussell Crowe to play Robin Hood/Sheriff for Ridley Scott?
Russell Crowe is known for his overpowering screen presence, a trait his frequent collaborator Ridley Scott has used to his advantage by casting him in performance showcases (Gladiator) or with another actor who can hold his own (Denzel Washington in American Gangster).
